The first meet and greet event of the year, or “turn up and tie on” as BMC like to call it, is planned for Saturday 2 April

This meet will be primarily a way to meet members of the club, either due to not climbing for the last year or to welcome new members!

Usual format - meet in the National Trust car park in Southgate, find new/trial members and fill in any paperwork if no done online beforehand, then amble down to the beach and do some climbing. If there’s plenty of leaders and experience belayers then we can lead/second, but if not we’ll be looking for the more experienced members to set up top ropes and be available to teach.

Low tide is just after 2pm, and the main cliffs gets at least 3 hours either side, so 10:30am meeting time at the car park.

Location

Three Cliffs Bay, Gower

The club is running a trip to the hut in North Wales and climbing on Saturday 30 April to Monday 2 May. There is room for 18 club members at £5 a night. I plan to arrive on Friday evening

If you want to get out on the big mountain crags, perhaps on the classics in Llanberis Pass or Ogwen, you need to be at least a competent second who can belay and does not mind a small stance with a couple of hundred feet of space below you. If that’s not your cup of tea there is lots of scrambling and walking options, but again being able to look after yourself is important.

As usual we will be going to Box Bay. If you’ve never been before this is a great venue to try out trad climbing as there is easy access and the routes tend to be beginner friendly.

The climbs are tidal but can be accessed at around 3 hours either side of low tide. Low tide will be around 11:45  so things should be climbable until 3pm.  We're meeting at 11 but  the meet leader will aim to be there around 10:30

For parking, the easiest place is Rest Bay pay and display car park. Head back along the coast line towards Porthcawl town centre and you should find the crag.
